The Nichols Ma rder Case.

MoIn1s, ILL, April Pin the Rock Island
train murder case this morning, Superin-
tendent Chamberlain resumed the stand
and testified that he saw car No. "a, the one
Watt occupied on the Thursday after the
robbery, and tho trsnsom windows were
more differently framed questions, to have
the witness say that he could not see through
tho transom, but every question was object
Cd to and ruled out.
The witness saw Schwartz and Watt fro
quently together at the depot previous to tho
murder.
Patrick Gray, Pinkerton detective, said
when he last saw Kellogg Nichols alive. Watt
said it was in the Chicago depot before tho
train left. Witness told him that he knew
better than that. Watt then said it was be-
tween Monksna and New London. Subse-
quently he admitted that it was in Joliet.
DR.. Hand, coroner of Gtundy county, tes-
titled to seeing and examining the body Of
Nichols on the night of the murder. DR..
Hand said that the wounds he noticed on
Nichols body were one on the chin, one on
tho forehead, one over the right eye and
several on various portions Of the scalp, all
made with the butt Of a revol-
yer or something similar. On the
left temple was severe wound two
inches or more in length, the skull being
crushed by the DlOW anu the brain exposed.
That blow was fatal one and Nichols could
not have stood or lived moment after re-
osiving it. Little, if any. blood could have
spurted from the wound mentioned. The
wound on the temple was made, in his opin-
ion, by the iron poker already introduced in
the evidence. Witness found on the handle
q good deal of blood. a little hair and some
particles Of bone. Witness said he con-
Quoted the inquest over Nichols body. Watt
was present and made q statement. Sub
sequently witness and Watt read over the
statement which, after q few corrections had
been made, was signed by Watt.

the gentlemen were in full evening dress.
The cancl1g, too, was grace itself and alto

TIE MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION.
Directions IN Which Their Activity might
be prOGtabIy Exerted.


81 don't believe" said DIR. Myron ].
Furst, of Furst Bros, to SUNDAY MORN
ING News reporter yesterday, ''that the
main object of the Merchants Protective
Association should be the helping out of a
crippled merchant by coming to his aid
financially. I believe. however. that the
association has aims toward which its ef-
forts could be directed with profit to the
community and credit to itself. For IN
stance, If it could be the means of bringing
about the cleaning of our principal thor
oughfares, its existence would not have
proved in vain. Again, the Association
may have sufficient influence in the com
munlty to get the North Hudson County
hallway company to run their cars to Abe
ferry down Newark avenue and there are
numerous other ways in which we
may make ourself useful Another
thing that suggests itself to our
mind is this: The Association has
ffty-six members, fifteen of whom con-
stitute quorum at any meeting. But the
association can never hope to accomplish
any very wonderful results SO long as it
has but bare quorum at an annual meet
ing, as was the case the other night l,
TOR one, too, am in favor of abolishing the
ironclad section of our bylaws which pro-
hibits the admission to membership in the
association of all those who do not close
their stores at 8 o'clock. Why? Because
there are many desirable merchants in
town who, Ly reason of the very nature of
their business, cannot close at s o'clock.
lake the druggists they are a very de-
slrable class to have with you, yet how
could they close at s o'clock. And the
cigar dealers-who would be so unreasona-
BILE as to expect them to close at that hour?
l lave always been dead set in my opinion
that this section of our bylaws should be
abolished or amended. I Ind to fight hard
to have the section SO construed as to adj
NIT the furniture men, who, in the Spring
season especially. cannot afford to close

HENRY eEoner AND THE srn1KEs.
The Great New York Labor Leader Adj
vIses Strike Against Rents.

New York, Feb. 6.--The full text of
Henry Georges editorial in his paper, the
"Standard," the labor organ of this city,
on the strike, is as follows:
81 think it fight in the dark, the blind
push of men squeezed past endurance. l
think it the first passive form of civil
war, which steel-clad forts end armor-
plated ships cannot guard us against-the
kindling of passions and the arraying of
forces that, reused to full energy, may give
cities to the flames and destroy our very
civilization itself. One cannot but see in
this passive war, in which forty thousand
men lay down their tools and give up for
tie time their means OF livelihood, some
thing more than the spread of foreign ideas
or the Vaccinations of "walking delegates %
Cannot one see in this paralysis of indus
try, this semi blocade of great city, this
hostile federation of capital on one side
and organized labor on the other, the evil
dences of deep wrong in the foundations
OF society, the premonitions of social
dangers that the policeman's club will be
powerless to ward off? The reason why
men, having but, their power to labor, are
forced to fight for employment, to form
combinations to force employers and to
push back the competition of laborers like
themselves, is that labor is shut out of its
natural opportunities for employing itself
by the monopolization of land. Nothing
can prevent these labor troubles, and moth
ing can prevent them becoming wider and
more violent, save the acknowledgment of
the right of all men to the equal use of
natures bounties. This can be done peace
ably and easily through simple legislation,
and this have always urged upon work
ingmen. Those who are most responsible
for what already is, and for thu worse that
will surely come, are those who tell work
ipgmen that they have nothing to gain
through .olitics, and that society as it is is
society as it ought to be. And even while
they are lighting under spur of temporary
necessity the feeling is deepening among
these striking men, as it is among working
men all over the United States, that strik-
ing can at best secure only temporary adj
vantage, and that the root of all labor diff :
culties is to be found in the land question,
and to be reached through political action.
This was declared emphatically at Cooper
Union last week by Victor Drury, t. b..
Mcguire and James E. Quin I, the three
principal leaders of the great District 40,
and is reiterated wherever workingmen
meet. Amid the scurry of storm clouds
light is breaking. The proposition that
the strikers should also strike against reat
shows the tendency in the same direction
1t is pity that the landlord cannot be
separated from the house lord. But such
strike might, perhaps, have some effect
10 impressiDg upon landlords the fact that
they, too, are vitality interested In the set
tlem eat of the great social problem"

Major Yard Tells About the Old Time
Executive Mansion In Trenton.

Major Yard Tells About the Old Time
Executive Mansion In Trenton.
The Morris Jerseyman apropos of the
estate Gazette's' agitation for a home for
the Governor in Trenton, says that there
was once an Executive Mansion in Trenton
and provokes Major Yard of the Monmouth
democrat" into the following reminis-
ence: "Hhe house referred to was on the
site Of the hotel known as the State Street
House, and forms part of it, a new front
having been added. AS we remember it.
it was fine old-fashioned mansion, with
parlors on one side of the hall and large
dining room, running from front to rear,
On the other. We distinctly remember be-
ing present there at the entertainment
given by Gov. Raines, on the occasion of
his first Inauguration, when he created q
sensation throughout the State by refusing
to furnish wire or liquors at the entertain
ment. The ease of travel created by the
railroads had rendered it practically un-
necessary for the Governor to reside at
Trenton, and besides the expense of main
tanning the establishment lad become an
onerous one to the incumbent, his salary
being. as we recollect it, only about 81, GOO
and perhaps some fees. The Governor
was also at that time the Chancellor, but
the question of the adoption of the new
Constitution, mich provided for the sep
aration of these offices was then under dis
cussion and was adopted the following
year. At some period previous to 1843 the
Governors had adopted the practice of
renting the mansion, and it had become
boarding house in which the Governor re-
tanned a suite of rooms for his own USE In
1916 the legislature ordered the premises
to be sold, and at the same session inereas-
ed the Governors salary to $1,000, to
which by another act, probably after the
sale of the house had been effected. they
added 5000 in lieu of the rent of it which
he had formerly enjoyed"
